Golden Crocodile Douluo Sweats Profusely? Yu Xiaogang: Thirty Years East of the River, Thirty Years West of the River...

Even if they let this rabbit go today.

Tang Hao, who was following Tang San in the shadows, would certainly guess that Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others had already seen through her identity.

Dugu Ce's eyes turned cold.

That old dog Tang Hao had been hiding in the dark all along.

If they didn't kill her, he might turn around and slaughter Xiao Wu himself just to be safe.

Then, he would take the Hundred Thousand Year Soft Bone Rabbit Soul Bone and go into hiding.

Rather than letting such a top-tier Soul Bone go to waste on Tang Hao, it would be better for us to strike now.

Securing the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone first is the safest course of action.

"Good lad, your thinking is meticulous and decisive!

And cautious enough, too!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo laughed via telepathic transmission.

"Since that is the case, this old man shall claim this Soul Bone for you!"

"And while I'm at it, I'll kill that little brat along with her!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at Tang San beside Xiao Wu, his gaze turning ruthless.

Xiao Wu and Tang San were extremely close.

If Xiao Wu were killed, Tang San would surely seek revenge in the future.

Although Golden Crocodile Douluo did not hold a mere Soul Elder in his eyes.

Killing him while he was at it would eliminate a potential hidden danger.

Golden Crocodile Douluo's killing intent was fully exposed, and he was just about to raise his hand to wipe out both Tang San and Xiao Wu on the spot.

However, the very moment Golden Crocodile Douluo's aura locked onto Tang San.

An indescribable, icy chill surged violently from his tailbone straight to his crown!

A powerful sense of life-or-death crisis instantly enveloped his entire body, and Golden Crocodile Douluo felt his scalp go numb.

He had never experienced such terrifying pressure, not even when facing his eldest brother Qian Daoliu or the Tang Chen of years past!

It felt as if the moment he dared to harm a single hair on Tang San, his soul would be annihilated in the next second.

Golden Crocodile Douluo was horrified and hurriedly forced himself to compose his mind.

He suppressed the impulse to strike at Tang San and locked his killing intent solely onto Xiao Wu.

Sure enough, that sense of crisis vanished instantly.

Golden Crocodile Douluo's back was soaked in cold sweat; he felt immense trepidation toward the Tang San before him and immediately transmitted his voice to Dugu Ce:

"Ce'er, something is wrong!"

"What is it, Teacher?"

Dugu Ce asked via transmission, having sensed the momentary stagnation in Golden Crocodile Douluo's aura.

"That boy named Tang San—he cannot be touched!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo's voice carried a rare trace of shock.

"This old man intended to kill him along with her, but I suddenly felt an extremely terrifying life-or-death crisis!

That feeling... it was even more frightening than my eldest brother or Tang Chen!

But when I gave up on killing him and targeted only that Soft Bone Rabbit, that killing intent disappeared."

Hearing this, Dugu Ce felt a sudden jolt in his heart.

A sense of crisis even more terrifying than Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen?

Protecting only Tang San, while ignoring Xiao Wu's life or death?

Various "conspiracy theories" he had read in his past life flashed through Dugu Ce's mind.

A classic one was that Tang Hao, having just broken through to Title Douluo, hammered to death two Title Douluos accompanying Qian Xunji, and even hammered Qian Xunji, who was already a Super Douluo at the time, into a state of severe injury.

Beyond that, there were many others.

Although Dugu Ce had scoffed at these so-called conspiracy theories.

Judging by what Golden Crocodile Douluo said, this was likely the only explanation.

Could it be that a god from the heavens was watching over Tang San?

Dugu Ce's heart sank.

Could it be the Asura God?

But regardless, looking at the original Douluo Dalu story, the gods of the God Realm were still quite bound by the rules.

Even if he couldn't kill Tang San directly.

Then he would wait, and find a god of his own to serve as a backer.

Once that was done, erasing Tang San would be effortless.

Dugu Ce took a deep breath and quickly sent a telepathic message to Golden Crocodile Douluo:

"Teacher, if my guess is correct, I fear there is a god from the heavens secretly protecting Tang San."

Golden Crocodile Douluo's pupils constricted; he remained silent, listening quietly.

"Since a god has intervened, we cannot touch Tang San today. We should also spare that rabbit for now, lest we invite unnecessary complications."

Dugu Ce's gaze remained calm as he continued his transmission.

"Once this disciple finds a divine inheritance of my own and gains an equal backing, it will not be too late to kill him then."

"Divine inheritances are ethereal and elusive; where do you intend to find one?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo asked via telepathy.

"Rest assured, Teacher, this disciple has already planned for it."

Dugu Ce replied with confidence:

"The 'Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud', the national treasure of the Tiandou Empire, is actually a token left behind by the Sea God.

With this disciple's aptitude, as long as I obtain it, triggering the Sea God's Nine Trials will be no difficult task."

Hearing this, a sharp glint flashed in Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes. He gave an imperceptible nod, signaling his agreement with Dugu Ce's plan.

Golden Crocodile Douluo withdrew his oppressive aura and swept a cold glance at Tang San and the others, waving his hand as if shooing away flies:

"Consider yourselves lucky.

Take this piece of trash and get out!

Remember, if you ever dare to set your sights on Blue Tyrant Academy again, this old man will show no mercy!"

Tang San felt as if he had been granted a reprieve, his back already soaked in cold sweat.

Without a word, he hurriedly helped the limp Yu Xiaogang to his feet and signaled the Shrek group to slink away toward the academy gates.

Supported by Tang San, Yu Xiaogang kept his head bowed, his face ashen; he wished he could crawl into a crack in the ground.

The humiliation of today was worse than death itself!

Yet, a fierce sense of pride and unwillingness began to fester wildly in his heart.

This humiliation today, I, Yu Xiaogang, will remember!

Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth, screaming internally.

*San, you are my only hope!

As long as I cultivate you to the Title Douluo realm and attach nine soul rings, each over ten thousand years old, to your second martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, I will surely forge an unprecedented monster!*

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west; do not bully a man in his middle age!

Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists in secret, determined to regroup.

*If this place won't have me, there are plenty of others that will!

With the strength and talent of our Shrek teachers and students, joining another high-level Soul Master Academy will be easy.

When the Elite Tournament begins in two years, our Shrek team will surely shock the entire Douluo Continent!

I will let all of you know that my theories as the Grandmaster are invincible!*

After the Shrek group departed, Liu Erlong looked at Dugu Ce with a complex expression.

Her gaze swept over Dugu Bo, Dugu Xuan, and Golden Crocodile Douluo, her tone calm to the point of deadness:

"I agree to go with you.

In any case, there is nothing left in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan worth my attachment."

Dugu Xuan nodded in satisfaction:

"It is best that you cooperate willingly."

Dugu Xuan looked up at the night sky and said indifferently:

"It is getting late. We shall rest here at Blue Tyrant Academy for the night and make further plans tomorrow."

Having said that, Dugu Xuan's lips moved slightly as he sent a telepathic message to Liu Erlong:

"Liu Erlong, you may set aside the grudges in your heart.

I might as well be frank with you."

"Yu Luomian told us that your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan possesses a secret technique called Dragon-Serpent Resonance.

This technique requires a female soul master possessing a top-tier Fire Dragon Bloodline to act as a conduit for her origin soul power, helping Ce'er cleanse his meridians."

"By doing so, not only will it completely neutralize the backlash of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison, but it will also allow Ce'er's Serpent Emperor martial soul to fully evolve into a True Dragon!"
